He fun n J that about four miles of the track

"How BlesseC Etc.
Another Open Letter on the
Water Question.
Ccuncllmen Granger, Jones and
Sanner Have Their Inning.
To the CitUeHi of S-tmerKt Bonugk :
Our colleagues in the Town Council,
Messrs, Ogle, Davis and Pisel, have seeu
proper to address to yoa through the columns
of t he newspapers of the town an open let
ter on the water question.
This remarkable letter, ostensibly a reply
to an article which appeared in Ihe Standard
and to which Messrs. Ogle, Davia and Pisel
have attached their names, is the production
of the Crst named gentleman and contains
so much of that which every one knows a
lawyer must make use of when be bas a
bad cause so much that is deceptive and
misleading and calculated to obicure the
real issue that e.etoo injustice to ourselves
feel constrained to speak out and lay before
tue people such facts as in our judgment
will aid and assist them in reaching a con
clusion as to the "true status of this perplex
ing quesiiau," a question of which it is no
injustice to say owes very many of its per
plexing fca'urea to the actions of these three
gentleoien.
Tl:ey do really a linit the fact that a ma
jority of the voters of the Borough have vot
ed tLat the Borough should be Douded for
the purpose of building water works to be
owned and operated by the Borough. Thia
Vute having been given after there bad been
a fall and ample discussion of (be whole
l iesiion in every possible phase that could
be pre.-er.ted, must be accepted as being the
wtii of the people on the w ater question, atid
these gentlemen are cow engaged in s futile
eif ;rt to excuse themselves for their refusal
to carry out that will so solemnly expressed
at the ba'.iut box.
It is a'.s ) true that one J jhn K White did
send an oifer to the Council to put in water
works far Somerset for the franchise and
the payment of twelve huudre-d dollars per
annum on the pert of the Bjrough.
We have sever proposed to give him this
sua:, say these gentlemen. Weil, since Mr.
Og'e is entirely too modest to leil the ople
how near t'lit sum be was willing to set the
figure thai Mr. White ought to have, and
which so far as be bimself could do. be tried
to give bim. we will tell the people for him.
On the Sih of August last Mr. White's let
ter was laid before the Council and read.
Mr. Ogle promptly drew from bis pocket the
following ready cut and dried resolution
which be offered to the Council :
Whereas, au ofler baa been made by Juo.
K. Wliiie and others to supply the Borough
with an ample supply of water and full and
complete tire protection upon the considera
tion eif the Borough granting unto said par
ties the right of way through the streets and
privilege to put in a system of pipes, etc.,
and ILe annual payment by the Borough lo
said parties tUe sum of twelve hundred dol
lars for a pri.xi of years.
Therefore be ic res'ilved that toe sid priv
ilege is hereby granted to said John K. White
and others to supply said water and put in
said system of pipes for conducting said wa
ter through the streets of the 15 imugh to
supply ttie tire protection aforesai l a- 1 the
w ater to such private consumers as toay de
tire to contract with the said John K. White
and others for the same and that the S'lm of
one thoti-arid doilnrs be annually paid to
the said John K. White and others for the
term of lo years, conditioned that this ac
tion be approved by theciliz -ns of tbe Bor
ough and lhat said approval may be bad or
refused.
Beit further resol ved. that a special elec
tion be helj on tbe day of , l?!i, at
which the letral voters may adopt or reject
the provisions of tbe Act of Assembly ap
proved the Hi.h davof April. IS75, P. L. i .
and 1st of Mv, 17(. P. L. M. and May H,
IST'i. P. I- 147. and J'jth of June, tsoi. p. L.
ti-ij. by voting for a water tax or against a
water tax.
Mr. Og'e expressed the opinion that Mr.
White would accept a less sum than $1200 a
year and that one thousand d )!!ars would
be accepted by bim.
lie labored earnestly with bis colleagues
to aiopt these resolutions but when the vote
was taken be alone voted for them. As Mr.
Davis and Mr. Pisel both voted against them
we have no criticism to o3er here as to their
atrtion at this time. We leave it to yon, fel
low citiwns, to determine for yourselves
whether Mr. Ogle did or did not, on this oc
casion, do bis level best to help Mr. White
get one thousand dollars a year for a period
of 15 years.
This matter was then seemingly permit
ted to rst for the lime being bul on the 2j
of Djcembrr the specifi ations ftr the water
wo.ks were laid before the Council and rea 1
and a motion was ni le that tb Council
proe-ud i advertise for bids on the same.
Messrs. 0'e, Davis and P..sel voted a.;iin ;'.
this motion, we voting for ir Then Mr.
Ogle again ofH-red tbe resolution as already
g.ven above the same almost word for
wo-d ', few words are omitted that in no
wise charge its scope or purport). It retains
the words "and that the sura of one thous
and dollars be annually paid to said John
K. Woitc f ihe t?rm of 15 years " The
same as when il was otlcreJ ihe first time.
We thick it needless to repeat it at length a
secjud time but if any exception is taken to I
o ir not doing so we will yet print it.
The resolution on this, the second time of
its being offered, was seconded by Mr. Pi
sel. We are however creditably informed that
be bas since det-lared that be would not
bsve voted for it in that form. We are at a
loss to reconcile bis action in making this
second wiln bis after declarations.
Jusi here was male the discovery of that
fehii king ignorance of the President of the
C uncil in Parliamentary law which these
gentle men seem to take so much to heart.
Well, any one can see that Mr. White is
still to have bis thousand dollars a year
from the Borough last as well as first no
discount as yet no desire expressed? as lo
letting any other fe'low have a chance of
miking a grab at a snap like that
Bat these gentlemen further say "we fcave
never pruposed to give bim (White) tics
frat chise at ail wubout your permission."
We are not to certain about thai. There is
room for doubt as lo that.
It is true that the first resolution docs ry
that it be conditioned on tbe approval of ihe
piple. But there is really no provision for
taking their sewe on this question. If Mr.
Og'e had really desired a square vote of tl e
I-ejple on this question his resolution would
have provi.l -d for an election at which tbt y
might have voted for the granting of ti e
water franchise to a private corporation (or
10 Jo;iri K. White) with an annual bonus of
one thousand dollars or against it. (Vin-t
the rt solution at the tail end says about an
election is a s'ring of an entirely different
sirt, from holding an election as to wheth
er this water franchise should be granted to
a private corporation or not.
Mr. Ogle is seeking to effect an entirely
different ohj-ct, as we shall presently show.
It is an absolute fa -t that there are only
two things that a town council are required
and authorized by law to submit to tbe peo
ple. One is when they desire to increase
the d'.-U beyond a certain limit, and they
must wiib'it state the, purpose. The other
is to gain the acceptance on the, part of the
voters of the Borough cf certain laws which
authorize the levying of aa . additional tax
to tbe amount of as much as 8 mills on tbe
dollar fur certain purposes specified in tbe
lavs themselves. Granting of franchises ia
not one of the purposes.
The taking oi a vote of ibe people on any
other question is entirely outside of tbe law.
11 would be informal at best but it might be
done sometimes for the purpose of learning
what tbe people really desire.
Mr. Ogle is seeking to gain ibe approval of
the people for certain Acts of Assembly
which be recites in bis resolution and which
confer on the Council the power of levying
an additional tax to what they may now
levy. That U exactly what be is trying to
do, thodgti there is no bint of il in this open
letter wliich bas been written to yoa.
There is nothing in these laws about vut
i'lg on tbe granting of franchises to corpora
tions. The first wot ion of tbe Act of loth April,
i7V and to which tbe other Acts are sup
plementary, reads as follows: "Tbe Bur
gess and Town Council of each cf the re
spective Boroughs throughout this Com
mon wealth be and are hereby empowered to
levy and collect in each and every year an
annual tax anon the assessed valuation of
each of the several Borongbs in addition to
tbe lax which they are already authorized
by lav to levy and oo'aect a special or addi
tional tax not exceeding a per centum of 8
mills on tbe dollar of such valuation."
This ia what be is after. He wants to get
this right granted to the Council, and it 1
the only thing be can get granted under tbe
provisions of these laws or decided by bis
propooed election.
Tbe money so raised may be expended for
fireplugs, gas, electricity and lots of other
thir gs named, up to the full amount each
year for all time, or as long as tbe law may
stand. And mind you it is In addition to
our present taxes. Once tbe bars are let
down the Council may at any time they
choose levy the full amount of these extra 8
mills of lax and use the money for vny pur
pose recognized by these acts without arJy
further vote on the part of the people even
if the pretense were made that a tax of one
or two mills only would be levied for some
particular purpos there is no way of tieing
it down to lhat. You will have to take the
entire business on trust, and you can judge
for yourselves how far you are safe iu doing
so, and besides that any promises that may
be made by one set of council men are uot
ia this Cioe binding oa their successors.
Before these laws can become operative
they contain a promise that tbey must be
accepted by the council. Now no direct at
tempt bas been made to get this acceptance
on their part, but we doubt not that if we
bad or would adopt Mr. Ogie's resolution
he would be swift to claim it as an accept
ance. Bat being accepted by the Council there
u a further promise lhat they must also be
accepted by a vote of the qualified or legal
voters of the Borough and the only way in
which this vote of acceptance can be taken
is with tickets reading "for a water, gas or
kerosene tax, or against the same, and we
tell you fellow citizens that these words
mean exactly what they say. They grant
or refuse this extra tax up to the full amount
of 8 mills at tbe pleasure ot the Council if
tbey can find any lawful pretext on which
to make the levy for all time. This last res
olution as submitted by Mr. Ogle (we mean
the one relating to the proposed election)
means to obtain your consent lo this right
of extra taxation and nothing else.
It don't call on you to decide whether
John K. While shall or shall not have this
franchise, along with a bonus of a thousand
dollars a year, granted to bim, or that it
shU be granted to any water corporation at
all.
These gentlemen say that Mr. Granger, Mr.
Davis and Mr. Og'e agreed on a plan to take
bids and submit them to a vote of tbe peo
ple and that by common consent a meeting
was to be held on Friday evening, Dec. 15,
at which this plaa was to be ratified. Thoy
say further that when the meeting came off
Mr. Ogle olTered the following resolution :
Whekkvs. Honest differences of opinion
nisi among members of Council as to the
best method of procuring water for use of
the Borough, and
WHKRi.es, It is desired to compromise
these differences by referring the quest on to
a vote ot tbe citizens of tbe Borough, anil
Whercas In order lo do so it is desirable
to know wtiat sum contractors are willing
lo take to put the water in. in accordance
with trie present plans and specifications in
possession of Council; and also bow much
any corporation, association or individual
granted a water franchise for a period of lo
years will charge the Borough per year for
full tire proteeriion, at the expiration of
which term of 15 years the Borouith shall
have the option of acquiring sa d wafer
works npiin tbe payment or aecurinit to said
corporation, association or individual the
actual cit of construction. Therefore be it
l:-f J:r l. That the Burgessbc directed to
ad ve ruse for seled bids in accordance wilh
the above, all bids to be handed in by C
o'cioek p. m . Friday, tb" liih dy of Janu
ary, 1 sjj, the right io n jet any or all bids
being reserved lo the Borough. "And upon
the ascertainment of sai 1 bid thst a spe
cial election be held on Saturday, the Mh
day at January, IStl.i. whereat the leeal
voters may approve or reject the provis
ions of the Acts of Assembly lilh .April,
175, P. L. 5j, 8'h May, WU. P. L. 147,
by voting for a water lax or against a wa
ter tax."
and to all intents and purposes .they say
that this embodies tbe terms of the agree
ment that Mr. Granger entered into nd
charge us with opposing it notwithstand
ing th agreemeut. Well the preamble
reads that il is desirable to compromise these
differences by referring the question of the
b;st method of procuring water to a vote of
the citizens of the Barough. But if one
r -ad further be will fail to find a word
ab ml submitting the bids or any of them to
a vote of the people. Yet they themselves
sy in their letter that this was the basis of
the agreement and was their plan. The
election provided for is for the purpose of
getting a Vole on Mr. Ogle's same "Old Jag"
of trying to get be-fore tbe people the ques
tion of approving or rjcting these Acts of
Averubly so often referred to by volir.g for a
water tax or against a water lax.
Il is the same old story. Mr. Granger on
his part says that he never agreed to accept
anything l.ke this resolution that is, to
have a vote taken on Ihe question of the ap
proval of the Acs of Assembly recited io the
resolutions. He says be did agree to adver
tise for bids on the s,eci!ie.4lions of tbe en
gineers, anil also to receive bids from privaie
corporations aa to wrat ihey would furnish
water for fire protection, etc., atid then if,
after due consideration of all tbe bids by the
council, if so desired by a majority of the
council, they might be submitted to a vote.
Mr. Ogle's resolution is for the purpose of
running bis scheme through without prop
er examination of these bids and that is why
be makes no promise forsubmitting the bids
themselves to a vote.
This matter, if properly advertised, will
bring ia bids from loO to 150 contractors ;
indeed, the burgess has on file now quite a
number of applications for specifications.
Tbe-e bids will require time for examination
and determination. It can hardly, be con
cluded under a month from the time of
c o-ing of the letting. Yet Mr. Ogle wants
h s e:t-t t'.o-i, such a one as it is, to be adver
tised and bell forthwith (see the resolution)
b- fore the merits of the matter can at all be
pTjfvr'y determined and Considered. A
tutifu! compromise, indeed !
But we must pass on. After tbe failure
of these persistent efforts to give John K.
White this franchise and a thousand dollars
year, Mr. Ogle seems to have the idea
strike bim that we might get this thing for
le.s lean a thousand dollars a year, say
about iJO a year. Perhaps if we keep on
kicking, be may be willing to knock off a
ouple hundred dollars more from the bo
nus beseems so anxious to give
Il is then proceeded wflh to give an exhi
bition of skill in juggling with figures by
showing receipts, etc, of tbe borough. As a
statement of gross receipts bis total sum of
may be near tbe amount It might
be a little under some years, a little higher
ia others. But when be places the borough
tax duplicate at (H'X), be makes no allow
ance for expense of collection, abatements
and exonerations. Not be ! Tbat be gets
uuder the convenient cover of ordinary ex
penses. He then proceeds to show that we
could have a balance of more than a thou
sand dollars a year to expand on our streets
and for ordinary expenses, but mark bow
careful to say nothing about the amount of
these ordinary expenses. It is nothing less
than an effurt to persuade the public that
these demands on ibe treasury, $U53 for
light and water, are met and honored, that
a I of a thousand dollars can be expended on
the streets. Well, if Mr. Ogle bas any faith
in his own figures, why these herculean ef
fort to get you to vote the council tbe right
to increase yotir taxes by having you vote
to adopt bis various act of assembly that
be offers on this subject. Too well be knows
bis balance of a thousand dollars for streets

leaving a balance of 3 for ihe streeU No.
wonder Mr. Ogle wants more taxing power.
Tbe figures given above that are covered op
under tbe guise ol ordinary expenses, are
close to what tbey will actually be and can
be backed up by tbe record.
There are on file petitions for five more
arc lights some of them so strongly backed
that tbey can hardly fail to get tbeoi so
there is a good prospect of baring a couple of
hundred dollars more added to our expenses
in tbat direction, and then, too, it is not
known thai John , While or ny one else,
will give ns water at tbe required figure.
Afier bewailing the streets and gutters and
attacking tbe management of tbe affairs of
tbe borough, these gentlemen blow a blast
both lond and shrill over tbeir;. having, as
they say, called a halt on this extravagance,
and poiul to tbe big balance they have turn
ed over to tbe new treasurer, calling upon
tbe people to gaze npon them as tbey are
holding their thumbs on tbe spigot while
some of them, at least, are doing tbeir best
to open tbe bunghole to its widest extent at
once, if permitted to do so.
Tbey say tbey turned over a balance of
$74 31 and bint that it might have been
much more, only tbey bad to pay outstand
ing orders left over by the former council.
Well, tbey have so far paid exactly $"il 43.
Strange to say they forget to tell thai this
balance bas since been reduced by $liJ and
that bills amounting to nearly a hundred
dollars more are hanging before tbe council
fur settlement.
When citizens come to us, as they some
times do, and complain that this thing and
that thing bas been left undone, do these
gentlemen want us to say to them tbat it .s
so because tbey wanted to show a big bal
ance in the treasury t
We will not do so, but we opine that tbe
average citizen will look on tbe matter tbat
way.
Fellow-citizens, we are mindful of the
pledges made when we received our trust at
your bands, and are now honestly engaged
in trying to carry out your will as you have
so decisively expressed it.
How and why we have been hindered in
our eiT arts to do so, we have here made
known to you.
As to tiioee of our colleagues who have
seen proper to change fronton the real issue
between us, we say to them that we, too,
propose to stand in couucil for good govern
ment aud the rights of ail tbe people.

Swallowed a Razor.
A cablegram from London, esys: Jane
Savage, a workingwoman in Lincoln, while
cleaning house last week placed herjbrother's
small razor between her teetb, tbat she
might bare both bands free to take down a
shelf. As she reached fir the she'f tberazir
slipped half way down her throat. She
tried to catch ber breath and thus drew the
razor so far down that when a surgeon was
called he was unable to relieve her. She
was taken to the Lincoln hospital and ex
amined. Her throat was badly swollen, but
therazir was gone. Yesterday she com
plained of severe pains in ber stomach and
symptoms of acute inflammation were dis
covered, and, therefore, her stomach was
opened. The raz r was f luud tightly closed
as when she swallowed it. The removal of
the razor was followed last evening by tbe
relief of all pain. The woman is doing well,
and probably will have recovered fully in
three weeks.

Peculiar Poisoning case.
Three victims of a most peculiar poison
ing case are lying at tbe point of death in
Washin ton. Pa The whole JcCready
family, consisting of Wm. McCready,
bookkeeper at Forgiea' Lumber Works here,
his wile and son Harold, a boy of 8 years
were found ia an unconscious condition at
their home in Spruce alley at S o'clock this
morning.
Harold, the hoy, was taken sick about 11
o'cioek last night and shortly after Mrs.
McCready also became ill. A physician
was called at that lime, but they showed no
signs of poisoning, and at 1 o'clock this
morning both were much better, and the
physinan and neighbors who were at the
house left At 8 o'clock, when Mr. McCready
usually came to the oflije, he failed to arrive
and a workman was sent lo tbe bouse to as
certain the cause only to find the entire
family unconscious. Medical aid was at
once summoned and antidotes fsr poison
were administered.
At noon to day Mrs. McCready and the
boy were still unconscious but are thought
to be some better. Mr. McCready shows no
signs of improvement and is not expected to
live. The poisoning it believed to be tbe
result of eating a butcher's chopped meat
preparation called hogshead cheese.

Obnoxious Taxation.
Necessity knows ni law, and a Bourbcn
D.'mocrat never learns. When a bystander
expostulated with Sisyphus npon tbe folly
of forever rolling a stoue op bill only to
have it roll diwn again, the s ige retorted,
with a glare : " Fool, do I not enj y eternal
hope?" The Democratic party is imbued
with kindred spirit A Democratic ex
change asserts tbat "a graduated income tax
should be levied because it is practicible, be
cause it is the least onerous and beciuse it is
just" In the face of repeated experiments
to the contrary, such a statement is sheer
absurdity. If it were true such a tax should
have universal application. If it it tbe most
epiitable and effective way to obtain revenue
for Suites, counties, cities, towns and villag
es, tbe support of which f jrms, afier all, tbe
chief exaction npon taxpayers. But is sui h
a consistent extension of the principal eitht r
suggested or contemplated ? Not at all. No
community, large or small, in tbe Cnited
Slates would tolerate the local application
of this system of taxation.
It is urged at tbe present time as a means
of procuring national revenue solely be
cause the exigencies of free trade " reform "
demand it, and it is as unpatriotic in meth
od as it would prove hateful and abortive in
operation. The Cnited States wants none of
it.

Halilnger Hanged at Last.
JiaxEV Citt, N. J., Dec 2Z Edward W.
Hallinger was hanged in the county jail here
t 10.05 this morning. The heart did not
cease to beat until 10 25. Dr. McGill said
that tbe man died of slow strangulation,
and that it was the worst of five hangings
he had attended. He said it was an outrage
on modern science, and did not compare
with killing by electricity.
Hallinger was a negro, born in Ireland,
who in April, 1S9I, murdered his mistress,
Mary Peterson, in a fit of jealous rage.
Four stays of execution were obtained in
his case on various pretexts.
